corrupt file system

[Christian Langer]

Well, I can't recall the exact error message. It doesn't happen every time I
boot. However, I did indeed get sent to the root shell. I googled the
message last nite and found an entry said try fsck. I did, and got the
reply, "Running fsck on a mounted disk can severely damage your filesystem,
do you want to continue? I said no.
